Abstract

In this study, impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on digital transformation of businesses were investigated with a bibliometric approach. 111 articles were obtained through the Web of Science (WoS) database in order to present a global assessment. Results indicated that America, China, England and Australia are the most productive countries and host the most productive institutions. Tao Li and Ju Yuang were found as the most prolific authors with 2 articles each and the most cited article in the data set was written by Dmitry Ivanov. Co-word analysis network showed that the articles were classified under four clusters. Based on the keywords in clusters, the articles were examined systematically, and special names were given to clusters: Covid-19 and Digital Transformation in Businesses, Covid-19 and Digital Transformation in Supply Chains, Covid-19 and Digital Transformation in the Health Sector and Covid-19 and the Digital Future of Businesses.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Covid-19 pandemisinin işletmelerdeki dijital dönüşüm çalışmalarına etkileri bibliyometrik bir yaklaşımla incelenmiştir. Küresel ölçekte bir değerlendirme sunabilmek için Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanı üzerinden araştırma alanıyla ilgili toplamda 111 makale verisi elde edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda Amerika, Çin, İngiltere ve Avustralya gibi ülkelerin alanda en fazla yayın yapan ülkeler olduğu ve en fazla yayın üreten kurumlara ev sahipliği yaptığı görülmüştür. 2’şer makale ile en üretken yazarlar Tao Li ve Ju Yuang olurken en fazla atıf yapılan makalenin yazarı Dmitry Ivanov olmuştur. Ortak kelime analizi sonucunda ise pandemi döneminde işletmelerde dijital dönüşümü konu alan çalışmaların dört farklı kümede ayrıştığı görülmüştür. Farklı kümelerdeki kelimelerden hareketle veri setindeki makaleler sistematik bir incelemeden geçirilmiş ve gruplara özel isimler verilmiştir. Pandemi dönemindeki dijital dönüşüm çalışmaları dört grupta ele alınmıştır: Covid-19 ve İşlemelerde Dijital Dönüşüm, Covid-19 ve Tedarik Zincirlerinde Dijital Dönüşüm, Covid-19 ve Sağlık Sektöründe Dijital Dönüşüm ve Covid-19 ve İşletmelerin Dijital Geleceği.
